1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 17 weeks - size of a chipmunk
2. How are you feeling?
Good.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nothing this week, but I got news at last weeks appointment I passed my 24 hour urine collection! So pumped, I’m hoping I can continue on like this and not end up with pre-e again.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
My belly button has been getting sore like I strained a muscle, the midwife suggested a belly band or support, does anyone have any suggestions for a good one for larger women?
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby?
Seeing them interact with DD and watching their personality develop. Also, carrying on the traditions we’ve started with DD.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 19 weeks, baby is the size of a mango.
2. How are you feeling? Still dealing with nausea and a little more tired this week.
3. Any appointments this week? New patient appointment with my new Duke Perinatal OB, anatomy scan, and blood work on Monday. Chiropractor on Thursday.
4. Rants/raves/questions? How do you keep up with the two year old while growing another tiny human and not feeling well?
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Seeing how DD interacts with new baby and the relationship they develop.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18 weeks. Baby is the size of a artichoke
2. How are you feeling? Ok! I FINALLY organized DDS clothes (all the stuff that didn't fit her/ was winter had to be packed away to make room for new stuff). Thankfully I asked MH to take the kids for Mother's Day so I could get things done and SUCCESS! I feel so much better. Unfortunately I also have been having s lot of cervical pressure, so I'm going to do a lot of sitting for the rest of the day.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope! Next Friday
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nada
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Honestly at this point I'm just excited to be done with pregnancy. But also super excited to just have our finished family! I feel like pregnancy complicates family so much, and I'm just looking forward to living our lives
@lrlybbert it's really flipping hard. I have a 3.5yo and a 18 mo and this pregnancy has by far been my hardest. We watch way more tv than we should, but i figure I'm preparing them for newborn life lol
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 16w. A Phillipine Tarsier
2. How are you feeling? Alright. Getting a little more tired, but not as nauseous.
3. Any appointments this week? Tomorrow 16w c/u
4. Rants/raves/questions? There are not enough hours in the day. I have stuff to do and no time to do it. Life
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Getting to know them and see their personality develop/emerge.
@cagncoo12 I'm waking up on my back as well. It's not really an issue until you're 20w... so you're fine for now. I've been trying as well, but you're used to your back. When it does come time, I've used a body pillow on one side and another small pillow at the small of my back; so even if I try to roll I can't actually fully lay on my back. Eventually you'll get big enough your body doesn't want to. Don't sweat it.
